Eggless NanKhatai | Indian Cookies Recipe

Hello my beautiful people!! 😍
Nowadays if you ask kids which Cookies they like the most, Chocolate Cookies will be in their top list. But when I was a kid the one Cookie type which I loved the most was NanKhatai. My mom and I absolutely love Nan-khatai but back those days we didn't have Oven in our Home so we used to go to Local Bakery Shops to get fresh NanKhatais. They are still my favorite!!😋 For those who don't know, NaanKhatai is derived from Persian word Naan meaning Bread and Afghan word Khatai meaning Biscuit. It is believed to have originated in the 16th Century in India.

Eggless Nan-khatai | Recipe

I guess NanKhatais and Jeera Biscuits are two traditional Indian Cookies which are famous in Indian Houses. There are so many different ways to make NanKhatais. In my hometown back those days Bakeries prepare these only using Maida. Cookies made up of Maida or All Purpose Flour are very soft in texture, however I like little crunchiness so I like to use little Besan and Suji. I feel that these Cookies not only goes well as Evening Snacks but also makes our festive season enjoyable. Let's make our delicious NanKhatais in today's post!!!

Ingredients :-

1 cup Maida (All Purpose Flour)

1/2 cup Besan (Gram Flour)

1/4 cup Suji (fine Semolina)

3/4 cup Powder Sugar

Pinch of Salt

Half cup Ghee (Semi-Solid; melted at Room Temp.)

Pinch of Elaichi Powder (Cardamom Powder)

Chopped Pistachios and Almonds
